Seagull Sudoku (detail) 111×111cm etchings on tissue paper,on acrylic on 9 boards, 2007
Genre:
2D: Painting, Print, Drawing
Artist statement:
I combine drawing, painting, and printmaking techniques, responding to the natural tendencies of materials (for example the way water drips or charcoal smudges). I am fascinated by fractals, and the apparently random but in fact systematic structures found in nature. I often use number systems or geometric forms in the composition of my work, to convey this sense of ‘ordered chaos’. Pieces often develop in series, representing the way we usually experience our environment – not standing still, but moving through it. I am interested in the meditative experiences that awesome landscapes can induce – my work represents time spent ‘being in’ nature, rather than places depicted accurately as observed from fixed viewpoints.
